Freedom! Or not…
The President of the United States said that one group of people has the same rights as any other under the Constitution. This infuriates many people, because they hate freedom (therefore, they hate America). I should run for office. First say “I’m gonna say NO to the mosque at ground zero!” then when I get elected, start saying NO to any church built near a site where a christian killed someone, and a move to shut out anyone who speaks out against our nation. Seems like we have some people who will use 9/11 to their political gain, and forget that the people who died on that day died for freedom.
I am clearly angry at Republicans, who were the first to rally the people behind “Freedom” and going to war to protect our freedom, but are also the first to shit on our freedoms. If the President of the United States did anything even remotely close to stopping that mosque from being built, then we would have effectively destroyed the First Amendment and everything this country stands for. Republicans are bringing this country down faster than any terrorist could imagine. I’m terrified of the future, not because of people in the Middle East, but because of our very own politics.
I need a big stick with the First Amendment on it, and to start hitting people with it.
Land of the Free*
The United States of America tends to be synonymous with “freedom” and our constitution entitles our citizens with many rights. The First Amendment guarantees us the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, etc. But having just traveled to Europe, and being back in the states, I feel so much less free. It seems maybe they should put an asterisk when they say “Land of the Free.”
